XCOM core concept shines through beautifully. The tutorial mission, wasted little time in introducing players to what XCOM: Enemy Unknown revolves around everything; kill three of your four squad dies within ten minutes. Learning the controls is snap, and give orders on the 360 pad used the demo could not be easier. More importantly, recording requirements is on the base level of tactical skills XCOM matter of minutes.
As promised, foreigners have no objections, your troops murdered. Leave a squad die in the open air, when strangers are in the process is anything but a death sentence. Even worse, does not cover most long against the alien weapons - nearly everything is destructible, and even if a shot misses, it is likely to blow a hole in something. On the positive side of even the most basic human weapons, the workers begin XCOM are more than capable of what the bad guys are hiding behind as well. The first time you throw a grenade at Section and not just kill malicious little guy but the level of the cottage, it is in hiding, you will never want to go back to a game, the destructible terrain is missing.
In a variety of ways, not to play XCOM not like the slow menu-based navigation, which we feel commonly associate with strategy games. Move this squad around the world has griddles easily and quickly perform actions is few quick keystrokes, and the alien passes again in seconds. Little touches, like, how you move to a second character, while the first is still running animated them to make flying through the turns. I've played a lot of tactical RPGs, and XCOM interface is the best I've ever seen.
The "Ant Farm" basis, where you return from the missions and work your overall strategy is similar to navigating easy. The choice of research and engineering projects, leveling soldiers, with the Funding Council, and the remaining part of the strategy is simple and easy. I love that almost every decision you make it clear, significant advantages and disadvantages. Help China and the United States throws a fit when her rising panic citizens. Research alien weapon fragments and the corpses Section sit on your autopsy tables to keep their secrets. Build advanced areas, and you have no money for the hundreds of other uses for cash. The difference in the equipment of squad die is huge with frame or grenades.
The only thing I'm not a fan of them are now seeing the occasional cuts to Junky Glam Cam in the fight, but Fir axis assured me that you turn off the ability of the whole. Thank God.
In a second, hands-off demo showed Fir axis several endgame skills and one of the legendary soldier that you can accomplish. A soldier with assault ghost armor drew ass just as it seemed like half the map in a single turn, while disguised, and fought up to the top of a building to an unsuspecting stranger shotgun in the face. A sniper with a jetpack went and blew two monsters behind dense forests of his superior vantage point with deadly weapon plasma. Sid Meier himself - is dead in-game model, with the exception of the legendary developer, a hulking Space Marine instead of a gentle kind man of small stature - took control of the eating of an alien's head and made them their own grenade.
I could not be happier with how XCOM turns out now that I've gotten to play it for myself. I cannot wait to dig into the full game - and with all the great toys to play contact XCOM from the efforts of the aliens own technology against them. Now that the show is over, I can say without hesitation that XCOM my personal favorite, which is shown at the E3 2012th.
